Twitter Integration

Use TV + Twitter to grow subscriber volumes

CalReply enables TV networks to drive real-time engagement and ratings by enabling audiences to set calendar reminders in their smartphones by sending a Tweet in response to an on-air call-to-action.

During television commercials or within show content, audiences are prompted to send a ‘Tweet’ to add a show to their mobile calendar. Viewers that have added a show to their calendar receive a reminder alert 15 minutes before the show begins. As you can see below, a small overlay is placed on screen with a call-to-action containing a short code and a Twitter handle.

In this instance, the short code is WORLDCUP and the handle is @SBSTV.

How it works

Broadcasters add a Calendar Reminder overlay to their show promotions to activate TV programming and commercials so that viewers can set tune-in reminders while they watch. Viewers just have to send a Tweet to receive an instant Twitter reply notification with a link to add the show to their calendar.

Hashtags Integration

Empower viewers to follow or participate in the conversation instantly. By including a hashtag in the event reminder, viewers will know what hashtag to use when the show begins.

Integrate Twitter links into calendar notes

When a viewer opens a calendar reminder, the notes section within the reminder can be populated with links that open a new Tweet containing the show hashtag. Additionally a "follow the conversation" link can be added to open a search results page for the shows hashtag. All of this can be configured within the CalReply dashboard.
